cost me ~$550, included cat, resonator, muffler, all stainless steel, installed the way i wanted it = non ghetto style.

I recomend buying a catback from any of the reputable vendors out there as the cost is about the same & there is less hassle, unless your **** like me & want it a particular way.

I'm going to have a custom exhaust made by a friends shop in Los Angeles. Turbo Back 3".

www.rennermotorsport.com

Talk with Ivo. (Pronounced just like Evo) He is a great guy and does excellent work.

If its a reputable shop I say go for it. It will be cheaper than ordering and they usually warranty their work.

I built mine as well. Cost was about $250. Here is a pic... not that good because I was actually taking pics of the rear bar.

I agree. When i get the cash together all i gotta do is take my car down to Renner and by the end of the day i'll have the custom exhaust all put together and tweaked so it fits 100% perfectly.

Hmm... no matter how hard i've tried.... i still cannot get used to the angled exhaust like that.

Other than that, you have a very nice ride.

I had a couple of 90 degree mandrels but they didnt make the turns to fit properly up under the car. So I cut them with a band saw and tack welded them into place so that they fit perfect. Then I dropped the whole assembly down and welded it up.

It would be nice if I could afford a mandrel bender but they are about 20k. So I'll just stick with using pre-bent mandrels and cutting them to fit.
